New World out of DC is one of the top programs in the 17U category in the 3SSB with a 7-1 record on the circuit. They put it on the line as they arguably have the toughest schedule this weekend also taking on EYBL Team Griffin and EYBL Liv On/ Fleur de lis (LA). Blake Neal Blake Neal 6'6" | PF St. Stephen's & St. Agnes | 2024 State VA is a nice player to watch on New World and so is Kennard Davis Kennard Davis 6'6" | SF Vashon | 2023 State MO but this team is deep.
Houston Hoops has some dudes to like Jace Posey Jace Posey 6'4" | SG Houston Strake Jesuit | 2023 State #79 Nation TX , Jaland Lowe Jaland Lowe 6'2" | PG Fort Bend Marshall | 2023 State #124 Nation TX and Ashton Hardaway Ashton Hardaway 6'8" | SF Sierra Canyon | 2023 State #164 Nation CA-S . This game should be electric to start off as a game one on Friday.
Mid Pro Academy (IL) vs. 3SSB Dream Vision
The size on the floor is going to be crazy in this one. Looking forward to the fireworks because this is a get you popcorn ready type of game. If you have an inkling of finding a big in the Class of 2023 come watch 6’10 Jazz Gardner Jazz Gardner 7'0" | C Los Altos | 2023 State #85 Nation CA-S , this kid is talented and he is going up against another solid D1 kid in Duke Faley Duke Faley 6'5" | C Wahlert Catholic | 2023 State IA who is headed to Iowa. Dream Vision has some guards to watch as well like Angelo Kambala Angelo Kambala 5'10" | CG Liberty | 2023 State NV .
Mid Pro Academy is no walk in the park as they have a lot of players that play with a chip on their shoulders as they have some mid-major dudes that can go. 6’7 Danny Stephens Danny Stephens 6'7" | PF Southeastern | 2023 State IL is a dude with size, speed and skill. This game should be elite.
EYBL JL3 vs. 3SSB Utah Prospects
Both of these teams play a tough brand of basketball. The Utah Prospects have played a tough schedule on the circuit but they have given everyone a run for their money. Impressed with the crafty guard play of 6’3 PG Christian Hammond Christian Hammond 6'3" | SG Colorado Prep | 2023 #160 Nation CA-S who recently picked up an offer from TCU. The Prospect just have a bunch of dudes that play hard.
JL3 has a loaded roster like they always do. Kayde Dotson is a nice MM prospect. 6’10 Zayden High Zayden High 6'9" | PF AZ Compass Prep | 2023 State #40 Nation AZ is a beast dude has offers from some schools that are big time. He will be hard to deal with.
